A Norridgewock man was killed in a motorcycle crash Monday morning after a vehicle reportedly failed to yield at an intersection.
The Somerset County Sheriff’s Office says 37-year-old Joshua Poissonnier was riding north on Bridge Street around 9:30 a.m. when a Jeep Liberty turning from River Road pulled into his path, causing the collision.
Poissonnier, who was not wearing a helmet, was thrown from the motorcycle. He was taken to Redington-Fairview General Hospital in Skowhegan, where he later died. The Jeep’s 34-year-old driver suffered minor injuries.
Investigators say driver inattention and failure to yield appear to have contributed to the crash. Prosecutors will review the case to determine whether charges are warranted. Alcohol or drugs are not believed to have played a role.
